From The Bizarro World

I don't know about you guys, but even after all these years, i'm still a big fan of the Seinfeld show, even though they're just old re-runs now. It's strange watching an episode for the 15th or so time and still LMAO. And, as with all those old sitcoms, there are certain episodes that really stand out. One of my favorite Seinfelds was the one where Costanza's father Frank, instigated by Krammer of course, renews Festivus, a holiday he invented, one which is celebrated by telling your friends and family all the lousy things they did during the year. The idea of first inventing, then celebrating, some goofy holiday was really, really funny. Of course, we had no idea back then that someone would actually do that (see: Kwanza) and be taken seriously. Well, by some anyway.

Well, it seems someone has now revised the "holiday" of Festivus. And could you think of a more appropriate place than Mexifornia? What is truly crazy about this story is not that some nitwit would use this fake holiday, but that an even bigger nitwit, a PC'ized Mexifornia bureaucrat, would take it seriously! It actually took a court order to stop it. Yes, reality can be stranger, and funnier, than fiction...
